On 5 January 1975, the 12-bit field that had been used for dates in the TOPS-10 operating system for DEC PDP-10 computers overflowed, in a bug known as "DATE75". The field value was calculated by taking the number of years since 1964, multiplying by 12, adding the number of months since January, multiplying by 31, and adding the number of days since the start of the month; putting 2 12 − 1 ...
But because some editors prefer their reference dates in yyyy-mm-dd format, the "Body dates to mdy" button respects this preference by not flipping yyyy-mm-dd dates within references. Editors who deliberately want to convert all dates into mdy should click the two buttons as you did. The short cut for that is to click on the "all dates to mdy ...
The leap year problem (also known as the leap year bug or the leap day bug) is a problem for both digital (computer-related) and non-digital documentation and data storage situations which results from errors in the calculation of which years are leap years, or from manipulating dates without regard to the difference between leap years and common years.
Microsoft Excel (using the default 1900 Date System) cannot display dates before the year 1900, although this is not due to a two-digit integer being used to represent the year: Excel uses a floating-point number to store dates and times. The number 1.0 represents the first second of January 1, 1900, in the 1900 Date System (or January 2, 1904 ...

National standard format is yyyy-mm-dd. [161] dd.mm.yyyy format is used in some places where it is required by EU regulations, for example for best-before dates on food [162] and on driver's licenses. d/m format is used casually, when the year is obvious from the context, and for date ranges, e.g. 28-31/8 for 28–31 August.
If a section title contains a link in a format such that the date formatting feature applies, the section title is user-dependent. However, for section linking this would require a link target that is correspondingly user-dependent, which does not seem possible with the current software without some special extension.
Delinks all dates and date fragments, and converts them all to the same format, either dmy (20 April 2011) and mdy (April 20, 2011). Resolves unambiguous slash-dates (e.g. 7/7/1961, 23/07/1961, 07/23/61...). Optional functions: all dates to dmy – making all dates uniformly dmy. [1] [2] all dates to mdy – ditto, but making all dates ...
